Relevant Experience: Rehab and Wellness Program/Internship with Highland Fitness and UW-Eau Claire

Training philosophy: Everyone has the ability to create change in themselves, whether it's weight loss or nailing that perfect plank form. For some it may not be as quickly achieved or the change may not be momentous to the outside world, but it all matters and can make a difference in the quality and happiness of a life.

Background: I was born and raised in Weston, Wisconsin, which  is a part of the Wausau area. I graduated with a double major in kinesiology and Spanish from the UW-Eau Claire in the spring of 2013, and I began working at Highland Fitness as a personal trainer. I teach a variety of classes, such as semi-privates, results training, and Silver Sneakers classes. I also do one-on-one training. In my free time, I enjoy being outside, hiking and kayaking, among other things. I also always enjoy a good book. If you have any questions or just need some fresh ideas for your work-out, feel free to contact me through Highland or come up and introduce yourself at the gym!
